"I'll do anything for her. Even if it means I have to die."

─────⊹⊱✧⊰⊹─────

Earlier...

"HO TROVATO il mio compagno." I speak into the phone, waiting for a response from my Beta, Matteo.
[I FOUND my mate.]

Silence.

"Tu─ cosa?" He sounds baffled, and keeps throwing out noises of confusion.

[You─ What?]

"Chi? Chi è?" He asks frantically, somewhat excited for me.

[Who? Who is it?]

When I utter the name of my mate, I'm met with silence once again.

"Matteo? Russo?"

"Scusa, vuoi dire che l'umano che stai proteggendo è il tuo compagno? Come cazzo è possibile, è umana! Non mi stai prendendo per il culo, vero?"

[I'm sorry, you mean the human that you are protecting is your mate? How the fuck is that even possible, she's human! You're not fucking with me are you?]

"Idiota, pensi che scherzerei su una cosa del genere?" I scold at the stupid man I call my best friend, who hums in response.

[You idiot, do you think I would be joking about something like this?]

"É vero." Why am I imagining him touching his beard deep in thought? It must be because he always does that while thinking. 

[That's true.]

I know him too well.

And vice versa.

A voice interrupts my conversation, I turn to find the owner of the voice.

"Grayson." Gabriel. The princess's father stands opposite across the hall from me.

"Devo andare, parlare dopo."

[I have to go, talk later.]

"Wait Grayson! ─"

Fuck. Do you think he heard that? I ask Pierce.

[I can't tell, this man always looks so serious. Come to think of it I've never seen him smile..]

I mentally roll my eyes at Pierce's words.
